Past Studies
We invite you to visit this page to find out about past publications and new articles about our team’s work. It can sometimes take one or more years between the time when scientists complete testing with you and other research participants, and when they analyze all of the data, write up the results into a journal article, and submit the work for publication, so if you don’t see any articles about the study you might have participated in, please check back again. No identifying information from research participants is included in any publications.
